    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and dry yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, then knead until you have a pliable dough. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

    2

    While the dough is rising, prepare the topping. Heat some oil in a skillet, then sauté the finely chopped red onion and garlic. Add the ground meat and brown until golden.

    3

    Add the tomato sauce, sliced bell pepper, cumin, and olives to the meat. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    4

    Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface, then place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    5

    Spread a layer of tomato sauce on the dough, then evenly distribute the spiced meat mixture over it.

    6

    Sprinkle with grated mozzarella, then bake in a preheated oven at 430°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.

    7

    Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
